The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Wang's family was also wealthy, and before she got married, she was always served by servants.

The Yan family was quite well-off at first, with servants attending to their every need.

After the sudden change of events, the servants were dismissed, and all the household affairs fell on her and her second brother and sister-in-law.

Later, when Han Cuiyin grew up, the clan chief suggested a way to temper her character, which made things easier for the two sisters-in-law.

However, they couldn't bear to see the little one busy at home.

Sometimes she would ask Yan Ruyi to help, and at night the two sisters-in-law would help with some chores.

More than ten years passed like this, and things only changed ten months ago.

"The Luo family are from the General's Mansion? The second branch of the Duke of Dingguo's family? The first branch is divorced, yet they're so arrogant!"

The original name on the deed to this estate was Princess Changyun, but it was only a verbal agreement and was never actually transferred.

In the end, it really did benefit Cuiyin and them.

“Go and call Ah Cheng out. Those guys are all trained fighters. Our old arms and legs are no match for them.”

Yan Dali heard Wang cursing and making quite a commotion, so he quickly came out to check.

He knew that moving in would cause trouble, but he didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.

Through the crack in the door, there was a rather large carriage in front, which should be the carriage of the old lady of the Luo family.

There were several carriages behind them, with no fewer than thirty guards on both sides.

"A second wife is so arrogant, I don't know how the Duke of Dingguo could be so muddle-headed."

Yan Dali muttered to himself, inexplicably disliking the people outside.

On the day of the fire, he saw Lord Luo and had a gut feeling that something was going to happen between this noble young master and his niece.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the two became so close that they sold such a good estate.

Princess Changyun and Li do not want to see their old friends, and it would be very easy for them to make a move.

They really got a good deal this time.

If it weren't for Cuiyin's change of attitude towards them, their family would still be holed up in Ping'an Lane, and they don't know if they would have been able to get through this safely.

In that instant, Yan Dali was thinking about something, and his eyes were also busy looking around for something that could be used as a weapon.

If they don't open the door, and someone tries to force their way in, we can't just go up to them unarmed.

"Father, what happened? Who are those people outside?" Yan Zhicheng gripped his sword hilt tightly, his eyes peering through the crack in the door. "Could they be members of the Luo family?"

Yan Dali lowered his voice and asked, "Acheng, let me ask you, have you ever hit those people outside? If you did, will the Duke of Dingguo make things difficult for your brother?"

"No, that won't happen! The Duke is quite fair, unlike General Xu who can't distinguish between public and private matters." Beads of sweat were already forming on Yan Zhicheng's forehead. "These people are all experts. You should hide in a bit and not cause me any trouble."

Although he was skilled in martial arts and had other tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't withstand the many who held him back, and only he could handle them all.

"Here you go, sir!" Madam Wang took out several kitchen knives. "Take these first, I'll go call them out. We'll deal with them one by one. The Grand Princess still lives here on Qingshuang Mountain, so we'll only suffer a little. If we get injured because of Princess Changyun, we might even get a reward!"

Wang showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, there was a hint of excitement on her face.

After she finished speaking, she excitedly went to call for help.

“Your mother is right!” Yan Dali gripped the knife hilt with both hands. “Why don’t you go open the door? I’ll hide behind it; if things really come to blows, we can catch you off guard…”

Yan Zhicheng had no choice but to do as he was told.

When the door opened, the person outside almost fell in.

This time, the person who came was not the coachman as before; it looked like the butler.

Wang came out again, followed by Granny Gao.

The man who looked like a butler was quite amiable, and Wang's tone wasn't as harsh as before, "Who are you? This house changed hands the day before yesterday, leave now!"

"We are General Luo—"

"What are you all standing there for? Throw them out!" Little Li had already brought Li Meilan to the front. "This is our General's Mansion's property. How could we sell it? These people dare to cheat people here. What are you all standing there for?"

"Are you going to force your way in? Oh dear, this is outrageous! The people from the General's Mansion are using their power to oppress us, treating ordinary citizens like foreigners, using their authority to forcibly occupy homes!"

Wang imitated the shrewish women she had seen before, and for a moment she managed to intimidate the people opposite her.

She clung to Little Li's legs, crying and wiping her snot on her expensive dress.

Startled, Ms. Li quickly pulled her leg out. "What are you all standing there for? Throw them out!"

Upon hearing this, all the guards rushed over.

Yan Zhicheng naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and the two sides started fighting.

Or rather, the Yan family members were being chased and beaten, and as soon as they got involved, their kitchen knives were taken away.

"Don't kill anyone, just throw him out!" After Little Li finished speaking, Li Meiyun kept tugging at her arm, "Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"

“Aunt, that tall woman is Yang Cuiyin… no, she’s now called Han Cuiyin, and she’s her maid. She’s the dark-skinned girl who lives in the villa halfway up Qingshuang Mountain.”

Li Meiyun had noticed that Granny Gao looked familiar, and now that she saw her face clearly, she naturally recognized her.

Looking at the one-sided beating, Madam Li smiled and said, "So what? This is the Luo family's estate. How could it change hands without the old lady's permission?"

"Princess Jinghe is very fond of that Han Cuiyin, I'm afraid—"

"What are you afraid of? Do you think we'd stand up for her? Even her own father doesn't care, let alone anyone else?"

Li Meiyun dared not say anything more. As the eldest daughter of a widow, she was living under someone else's roof and had little influence.

Besides, the Grand Princess might not be able to help.

Just as she was feeling relieved, a shadow streaked across the sky.

After the shadow landed, he stood back to back with Yan Zhicheng. "It seems you only won against me by luck that day. You can't even beat these people!"

Yan Zhicheng had already rescued the Yan family members and left them aside. Now that Qinghe had arrived, things were much easier.

"They...they are all wounded soldiers who have retired from the battlefield. How can they be compared to you in a fight!"

He could tell where these people came from at a glance.

They appeared fierce when they attacked, but in reality, his family members weren't even scratched; they were just going through the motions.

Qinghe stopped speaking, showing a certain respect for the soldiers guarding the border.

"Ah Cheng, we can't afford to lose face, let's drive them out!" Wang's shout ignited Xiao Li's anger again.

"You're Qinghe, the one who works for Luo Jingqian? How dare you be so disrespectful! You—"

After the last person was thrown out, Qinghe finally smiled, revealing his white teeth. Li Meiyun shuddered and shrank back next to Xiao Lishi.

"Second Madam Luo, this estate has changed hands, and the land deed has been processed. You... go back to where you want to be! If you cause any more trouble and alert the Grand Princess... hehe~"

Little Li understood the unfinished meaning of Qinghe.

She was about to continue when a nanny stopped her, whispering something in her ear. Little Li gritted her teeth, gave the manor a deep look, and led her people to the manor behind it.

How is my cousin?

"Miss Han has woken up and will be here with the Marquis shortly." Qinghe paused for a moment, "and will also introduce you to someone."

Yan Zhicheng immediately understood, "Wouldn't that attract attention? These are all powerful and influential people from the capital right now, wouldn't that be a bit too conspicuous?"

"Your Lordship's arrangements are assured!"
